THE MOB IN THE runeRIss.
The Story Of q sunday Afternoon Con-
cert-"Profigacy aud Luxury"

zhs Story Of o Sunday Afternoon Con-
csrt-"Pronigacy IN Luxury"
A most curious event occurred at the
palace of the Tuileries ON Sunday after
noon, May 10, 1871. There was a grand
concert given there ut that time under the
direction of the communard authorities.
The proposed ''concours'' was widely adj
vertised in the city, and every effort was
made to have it a grand success. As its
avowed purpose was a beneficient one,
the appeal made 10 the communard popu-
lation Of Paris was a very strong me-.
The attendance was large and a great
amount of money was taken In.
The concert was advertised for Sunday
evening, but there was an immense affair
In the garden of the Tuileries in the after
noon. There were not less than 10, 900
persons present. There was Emusic with
lbs ~voluptuous SWELL" the bands of a great
many regiments, and no less than 1000
musicians, playing and singing the soul
stirring Marseillaise. But it was in the
evening that there was the greatest inter-
est. The palace Of the Tuileries was
thrown open to the public, and the great
horde of men, women and children went
through the gardens and defled through
the gorgeous and magnificent apartments
of the palace.
Though l knew all about the concert, !
did not deem it a fitting occasion TO be
present myself on a Sabbath day; but !
sent one of my secretaries to see what
was to be seen and to report to me. He
stated that what he there beheld was a
most remarkable and interesting sight.
Ten thousand people filed all the apart
ments, wandering everywhere at their
ease, and examining into every nook and
corner of the vast palace. The comments
of the rabble were most amusing. My
secretary kept along with the crowd
everywhere, seeing all that was to be
seen and listening to all that was said.
Great interest centered in the private
apartments Of the empress. The gor-
geous belongings were everywhere COM
mented upon by the mob. The bath
room of.the empress attracted great at
tentiop. Il was repr sented rs very hand
some, and as a marvel of luxury, beauty
and taste. 1t was surrounded by heavy
plate mirrors. The bath was cut out of
solid marble. The ceilings were covered
with rich blue silk velvet. The faucets
in the bath were If solid silver. All that
was seen was described by the commu-
nards as evidence of the profligacy and
luxury Of the court, in the vast increase
of the taxes levied upon them. Not one
man in the crowd, it is safe to say, had
ever paid a cent of taxes in his life.-Ex-
Minister Washburn in Scribner's Maya
zine.

An Odd BIT of Figuring.

I've Just been doing an odd bit of
fgurin'," remarked a brakeman on whose
hands time was evidently hanging with
a good deal of weight. .'By actual count
I've found that there are now 80, $3.50
railway stations in the United States at
which agents are stationed. A good
many? You bet it is. Why, just think
Of it; that's one station for 1900 people
the country through. In the big cities
the proportion is much smaller. In a
place like Chicago, for instance, there
are only half a dozen stations, suburban
stopping places not being counted. for
725,000 people. In Illinois, outside Of
Chicago, there are nearly $500 stations.
.'S'pose a travelling man should start
out to visit all the stations in the United
States; say he could make two stations a
day; how long would it take him to make
the grand rounds? Only Fifty years. And
by the time he had got around there'd be
enough new stations to keep him goin'
fifty years more. This is a mighty big
country. Chicago has a greater number
of railways than any other city in the
country, or the world, and the biggest
ones, too. Chicago has 90 roads, st.
Louis and Cincinnati Ia each, New York
Is, Boston and Philadelphia 12 each,
Pittsburg IL, Buffalo 10. Some of the
smaller towns are pretty well fixed for
railroads. too. Columbus, o., has as
many as Boston or Philadelphia. and
Dayton, o.. and Minneapolis have beach.
The greatest railroad town in the country
for its size is Decatur, Ills, which has z
roads and a population of 10000. I've
heard that in the Illinois insane asylums
there are about 400 people from Decatur,
all made crazy by trying to keep up with
the changes in railway time tables

Suggestive C0mmonto On the Caueo o.
Colds and Kindred Ailmsnts.
Foul dusts in rooms can not be got
rid of by any amount Of sweeping and
carpet-beating. The only thing that
will remove and replace it is a current
of comparatively pure air from the out
side. Except in very cold weather
there should always be two open win
dows in each room, on opposite sides.
If we should follow that advice" the
Mortified reader will exclaim. eve

being exposed to . sudden draughts
Only few nights ago. when occupied
. seat near the door of theater, the
door was left open during the intermis-
sion. and the draught. though pleasant
enough gave me bad cold. No. thank
you. No draughts for me!' This
logic seems good. yet it 10 utter sophis-
try. As . metaphysician would say.
the draught was only the occasion, not
the cause. of the cold. The real cause
was the foul, hot air in the theater,
which demoralized your skin and re-
laxed its blood vessels. % that they
were unable to react suddenly and en-
dure the healthful. cool air from the
street In other words. it WAS not the
draught that gave you a cold. but the
sudden traneition from hot to cold air.
Such transition always is injurious to
the skin. whether it be from hot to cold
or from cold to hot air. But il you are
not overheated . current of cold air is
never injurious. As one Of the greatest
authorities on hygiene. Prot RECLAIM
